This mom (and dad) are going to be kept very busy with two “babies” 13 month apart! This client came to me as a referral from a very talented wedding photographer in Calgary, Shelley, As I See It Photography. As it turned out this client only lives a couple of blocks away in a house that a previous client lived in prior to moving overseas. Small world!

Anyway, we got some awesome shots of their new addition as well as their elder daughter who was a superstar and amazingly patient! R and C it was great to meet you and I will have the rest of your gallery out next week.

I have added a couple of pieces of equipment to the Tot Shots family. I am so excited!! It has been awhile since I upgraded my camera and there are a ton of amazing camera bodies out there that I have been drooling over. Well the time finally came!!! So here is an introduction to the D700 and a new fixed 105mm! My little one helped me test it out today so that I could be ready for this weekend. One of the reasons that wanted this model in particular was its ability at higher ISOs. I had to shoot a few natural light images at an ISO of 800. It is amazing…and I know that it can to better based on the reviews. I am so looking forward to getting outside with it this weekend!

The detail that the new lens can pick up is amazing. I can’t even wait to capture some newborn details over the next little while!

Have a great weekend!
It is more difficult to get shots of my son with him in school full days but here is one from a few evenings ago.

…a great way to end 2009 and begin 2010. These shots were from my last session of 2009. What a way to end the year and begin this blogging year. What a gorgeous baby! Look at her beautiful hair! One of the shots was a quick picture as mom was cuddling her baby (the backs of their heads). I love the feel of it! I am so excited about all of the newborn sessions that I have coming up over the next few months!

Although this mom found me on the internet, we later discovered we are neighbours…small world. J and D, I look forward to seeing you around the neighbourhood. I will have the rest of your gallery up soon.

One of the projects that I have had on the go for awhile was getting images up of ideas for wall art as this area has become a big part of my business. I work with a professional framer and canvas supplier. I have created a section on my website under the “gallery” section called “wall art” that illustrates some art pieces and how they can be arranged. This should help to give you an idea of sizing and display of canvas and frames.

Here is one of the images and there are a bunch more here on the website.
